I have a question about two settings I have seen in the cpu features section of my bios that the manual does not really explain what they are and if I need them.

The features are: Execute Disable Bit, and Virtualization Technology.

Can someone explain what these do and if I really need them enabled?

I only know of Virtualization Technology, a feature that lets your CPU simulate a "computer-within-a-computer". It has to be on for certain programs, like Virtual PC, to work.
